The cultural heritage of the people of British Southern Cameroons must be protected, we will resist.

The cultural heritage of the people of British Southern Cameroons must be protected, we will resist.

Our leaders such as Frederick Alobwede Ebong, Andrew Azong,Charls Mbide and Henry Fossung and many more before us never gave up the fight for our freedom, which is why our (SCNC)National Chairman Nfor Ngala Nfor is presently detained by Biya and his government, not leaving out Sisiku Ayuk Tabe and other Abazonian leaders who were arrested in Nigeria and extradited to Cameroon in January 2018.

We the people of British Southern Cameroon are tired of being annexed by the French Cameroon,We want our independence and total freedom, it is for this reason that the octogenarian regime of the 87years old poul Biya are out to destroy southern Cameroonians completely and weaken us in such a way that we will take more than three decades to stabilise and rebuild our village’s, Towns and cities and as well assimilate our plans.
Proof of it:why is the military targeting and burning place?- to destroy the base and roots of who we are as a people and our culture! That is what keeps us strong and bonded. We see the military burning down villages and homes of innocent southern Cameroonian civilians even when they are aware no one possesses threat to them in those houses. It’s all to disperse our people and render us wanderers so that our unity will be destroy, families are separated, many are now in the bushes or refugees in Nigeria and other countries. It is clear that more than 3000 southern Cameroonian civilians have been killed by Cameroon Soldiers, 530000 internally displaced and more than 40000 southern Cameroonian civilians are refugees in Nigeria as of July 2019. When you separate families you destroy society.
The French government and it’s military also take our innocent southern Cameroonian men, women and children from their home’s and shoot them at close range, just to instill fear and terror in us all as a people of British Southern Cameroon so that we can abandon our call for independence. Look at what the military did in Bali on the 18th of January 2020, they burnt down home’s in the heart of the Town with cars of innocent southern Cameroonian civilians. All what the French government and it’s military are doing is part of their plan to destroy southern Cameroonians completely.
It is for this reasons that, the SCNC is using this platform and many more to call on the world and common wealth Nations to see the genocide going on in our mother land southern Cameroon and to help us preserve our heritage, values and culture as a people as it is being destroy by the military. A place where we call home, the land of our birth! That place where even when our time on earth is over, we return to for our soul to rest In peace-, is that place the military is burning down each day. Our people are running day and night for fear of been killed by French Cameroon Soldiers.
The SCNC and the people of British Southern Cameroon ask, for how long will the world watch and stay quite while our people are suffering. One thing is certain victory is our’s, it may take long but our independence and total freedom is on it’s way. The is light at the end of the tunnel.

Dr Rev. Success Nkongho Betrayal: Not The First Of It’s Kind

Pa. Ngala Nfor Nfor writes.

 

 

Dr Rev. Success Nkongho Betrayal: Not The First Of It’s Kind.

 

  1. The struggle for the restoration of the sovereign statehood of Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia) has been a victim of betrayal before. Each time, like a sportsman taking a bend with zeal to double his speed on the straight lane, this act of betrayal comes up to slow down. Indeed, betrayal is like a hurdle or a pit into which the struggle falls. But each time it bounces back to the embarassment of the traitor and the mentor, la Republique du Cameroun.
    It all started early. The first frontline actor was Rev. Ayuk. He created real sensation at AAC1 in Buea, 1993 which was highly applauded.
    Firstly, he brought in a Choir which sang and entertained the huge audience.
    Secondly, his prayer was like the long awaited sweet palm wine for a thirsty audience.
    But this “man of God” who moved the hungry for freedom and sovereign statehood into tears with his prayers came to be used by the very enemy he prayed God to punish and free the subjugated people. His efforts slowed down in that the spirit generated and the momentum ignited by AAC 11 Bamenda Proclamation in 1994, the Nine Man Delegation to the UN in 1995, and the nation wide signature referendum of 1995, which overwhelmingly favoured peaceful separation and restoration of Southern Cameroons sovereignty were not implemented as expected.
    This notwithstanding, what Rev Ayuk the traitor gained was a post in the Prime Minister’s office. Though the struggle slowed down and there was malfunctioning, treachery never killed the struggle as intended by agents of the dark world.
    The second act of betrayal came when a pro-action oriented leadership was in the saddle as from 2000.
    End of the second millennium witnessed the declaration of the restoration of Southern Cameroons Independent Statehood over Radio Buea by Justice Frederick A. Ebong (late) and the holding of Constituent Assembly in Bamenda in April 2000 at which State symbols, state system and structure were debated and approved. Though Ebong and eight others were in Kondengui Prison, a plan of action was adopted to carry out national mobilisation and aggressive diplomatic offensive for actualisation of the restoration of Southern Cameroons sovereignty.
    On October 1st, 2001 the celebration of Southern Cameroons(Ambazonia) Independence took place all over the national territory for the first time and the tree of liberty was watered by the blood of the martyrs killed by la Republique du Cameroun occupation forces.
    The Yaounde annexation regime mindful of the pace we were moving had to change tactics to counter. The legal victory over Nigeria in the Abuja Federal High Court in 2002 recognized the distinct identity of Southern Cameroons and it’s inherent right to self-determination under the UN Charter and international law. Nigeria was similarly called upon to table this at the UN and ICJ and pursue to a logical end.
    This not implemented, the SCNC/SCAPO leadership sued la Republique du Cameroun at the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights (ACHPR), Banjul, The Gambia, Communication 266/2003.
    The second act betrayal had to be handled by team to counter Southern Cameroons at a Pan African Tribunal. As revealed by a letter to the then Minister of Justice, Ahmadu Ali with whom the deal was sealed the team was led by Chief Isaac Oben and assisted by a certain Dr Tita and Mr Leke Theodore. While Chief Isaac Oben and Mr Leke Theodore were SCNC officials, the fake Dr Tita was a very hungry party leader ready for any crumbs to survive.
    Their mission was to withdraw the case filed by the SCNC/SCAPO against la Republique du Cameroun at the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) in Banjul, The Gambia. Promised a huge sum of money, they were to withdraw the case in the name of the Southern Cameroonian people on grounds that the Biya Regime was having dialogue with the people as called for by the Bamenda Proclamation of 1994. With Minister Dion Ngute leading the 8man la Republique legal team, the Chief Isaac Oben team which travelled in same flights and lodged in same hotels with the Ngute team was well fortified. This notwithstanding, the SCNC/SCAPO Delegation stood it’s grounds and the team of Judases was never at anytime admitted into the Court Sessions. When they didn’t succeed, the huge amount promised was not paid so Theodore Leke had to petition Minister Ahmadu Ali calling on him to honour the contract.
    Though the Banjul case dragged on from 2003 to 2009, at the end judgement was given in favour of the Southern Cameroons. This Ruling which was further approved by the AU Summit of Sirte, Libya in July 2009 called for “Constructive Dialogue under the Good Offices of the African Commission” within “180 days”.
    Here again the traitors and their mentor, la Republique du Cameroun, were hugely, hugely disgraced at the international domain.
    The third round treacherous efforts by Dr. Rev. Success Nkongho will not be anything different. His late 2019 efforts to betray the cause and claim of having inside knowledge thanks to his involvement during SCACUF meetings is nothing new. Chief Isaac Oben for instance, in borrowed robes posed both as a Traditional Ruler and Chairman of the SCNC. Yet even with Minister Dion Ngute and able legal team he and his team could not be listened to in spite of the number of sessions attended and efforts made. Traitors must be reminded of received wisdom which holds that no one wins a war against his own people. Under the SCNC banner, l long declared, which has been quoted several times, that the Restoration of the sovereign statehood of Southern Cameroons(Ambazonia) has been ordained in the high heavens by the Almighty Creator God who, in His infinite wisdom gave us this land on planet earth as our eternal heritage.
    While we take due cognizance of these traitors, it must be understood that la Republique du Cameroun is desperately involved in recruiting traitors from among us because she can’t stand and defend her claim of sovereign rights over Southern Cameroons(Ambazonia) in any international fora. As the Southern Cameroons team was one and indivisible in Banjul, defending the one Nation, one People, one Destiny, and came out victorious against la Republique du Cameroun, so must we today and tomorrow do. The sooner we overcome self interest and self aggrandizement, focus on the big picture and heal the wounds of divisionism and be pressed on flushing out the enemy, the road to Buea will be shortened.
    We must seek to understand why the spies Great Liberator Moses of the Bible, sent to explore the promised Land, took such less time but when they returned and there was division and rebellion, the journey took many years, going down south, then east to come back west!
    In this struggle it is self-evident that, the cancer of divisionism and self interest makes the perpetrators no less Dr Rev Nkongho Success for the consequences are same, delay liberation giving room to the slaughter of our people like diseased cows by la Republique du Cameroun terrorist gangs. God in the Holy Book assures us that once a people are united in their legitimate quest, nothing will stop them from achieving it.
    I salute the single-minded patriotism of the RF on GZ who are whole heartedly focused on the enemy and the enemy only. They are the biblical Gideons and true heroes and heroines of the New Dawn. By this while calling on all patriots to pay due attention on GZ, let us bury whatever differences exist and support the efforts on GZ and put the struggle on the fast track. Let us make 2020 our year of FREEDOM!
    Short live the struggle;
    Long live the people’s inherent right to self-determination and freedom.
    Long live the sovereign rights of all nations, large and small.

REFLECTIONS ON THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ANGLOPHONE CONFLICT

Summary of Historic realities of Southern Cameroons

It has been clearly established in history that La République Du Cameroun (LRC) was known as Kamerun under the German administration from 1884 to 1916 and constituted Southern Cameroons, LRC, Parts of Chad, Central African Republic, Congo Brazzaville, and Nigeria.

The question here is, why is LRC nor claiming ownership of the other territories that made up German Kamerun but choses to annex and murder the people of Southern Cameroons over their heritage? It is deeply disappointing that LRC as a nation has no regard or respect for international laws and international boundaries.

At their defeat during World War 1, Germany lost Kamerun to Britain and France. At the Versailles Peace treaty in France (1919), article 22 of the League of Nations Convention confirmed the partition of German Kamerun into British Kamerun (Southern Cameroons) and French Kamerun as mandate territories with clearly defined boundaries.  British Kamerun and French Kamerun therefore became United Nations Trust Territories under Britain and France respectively.

Eventually, on gaining its independence on the 1st of January 1960, French Kamerun became known as ‘La République Du Cameroun’ (LRC) with clearly established and defined boundaries. British Kamerun on the other hand was not part of this process. However, on the 1st of October 1961, British Kamerun obtained its own independence from Britain. To this date, there is no treaty nor historic record that extended the boarders of LRC to include that of Southern Cameroons

CameroonFlag of Cameroon from 1961 – 1975Flag of Cameroon
From 1919-1961 Governed by Britain, Southern Cameroons emerged from the British League of Nations Mandate to the UN trusteeship as a gateway to independence which was attained on October 1st, 1961.From 1961-1975 As a UN Trust Territory, subjecting us to ‘independence by joining’ and leaving out the option to consolidate our independence was a violation of international laws. We have the right to self-exist as a nation. Instead of federal unity of equal states, LRC annexed, absorbed, occupied, and colonised Southern Cameroons.From 1975- present day The Federal Republic of Cameroon was established after the Foumban Conference, and amidst strong protests from Southern Cameroons the constitution was again amended to the Republic of Cameroon, repressively dissolving the government and parliament of Southern Cameroons.

It deeply concerning that Southern Cameroonians are being accused of secession and killed by the government of LRC. Southern Cameroons obtained her independence separately from LRC and what we are seeking now is the restoration of that statehood which was lost through a hidden annexation agenda during the UN Plebiscite at Foumban whose proceedings were not in conformity with international laws in the context of decolonisation. The fact remains that we are claiming something that is rightfully ours and why should we as a nation be ravaged over our right to self-determination?  

As a UN trust territory in the 1960’s we were autonomous with a prime minister as head of government, a parliament with ministers and a judiciary system from 1954 -1961. We wanted independence but were imposed a plebiscite that was reduced to two alternatives, which was to attain independence by either joining Nigeria or LRC.

Come to think of it, if Southern Cameroons was never an autonomous nation, how come we obtained independence from Britain?  As a nation, we have endured over 50years of persistent marginalisation, discrimination, oppression, and repression from LRC and this conflict kicked off over our quest for the restoration of national sovereignty, legality, identity, truth and justice. 

Southern Cameroons was misrepresented at the UN Plebiscite in Foumban which violated our rights to self-exist. The option ‘attain independence by joining’ was fought by our political elites who called for a thorough interpretation of the results but were flushed out and any form of resistance was suppressed. The resulting Federal Constitution from the Foumban conference was illegally imposed on Southern Cameroons just when the independence of 1st October 1961 was supposed to take effect.  Cameroon then used this as access to dismantle and Francophonise the Anglo-Saxon system of Southern Cameroons.

The francophone civil law system will never become a replacement of the Anglo-Saxon system and that is why we are seeking for the restoration of our stolen patrimony. We firmly believe that the restoration of our statehood is the only just solution to end the anglophone crisis.

In 2016, teachers and lawyers went on a peaceful protest to denounce the professional constraints imposed on them by the Cameroun government, who rather than dialoguing with them responded with acute military brutality killing hundreds of unarmed civilians including women and children.

No end of the conflict is in sight with very little hope of any cooperation between Cameroon and the international community. As of now, several sources have recorded that more that 6,000 people have lost their lives with over 1 million internally displaced. Over 600,000 students have not had access to education since the onset of the armed conflict in 2016. Our leaders were abducted from Nigeria and unjustly sentenced to life imprisonment. Thousands have been executed and killed in abominable ways. Several thousands are languishing in prisons across LRC. Only an end to the conflict can ensure the security of the people of Southern Cameroons.

EMOTIONS OF TROUBLED AMBAZONIAN

             EMOTIONS OF A TROUBLED AMBAZONIAN

My heart bleeds daily because of the suffering of my people The carnage  carried out in the Former  trust territory of British Southern Cameroon is unspeakable .My people are being treated with impunity.
The fact is that the former British Southern Cameroons has been hemmed into la REPUBLIQUE du CAMEROUN  for  60 years .The  western world  wants Ambazonia to conform to this twisted arrangements because it profits them .For example New Age a British oil company  signed an oil deal with Cameroun in June 2018 to exploit oil in Ambazonia despite  the  ongoing war which  was declared on us in 2016 by Paul Biya  .The resources is the reason Mr Biya  and his cohorts  continue with impunity  the eradication of the Ambazonian people .

https://twitter.com/Capo4Daniel/status/1005659871570640896?s=20

Evidence of this can be seen as  Biya’s military drag civilians from hospitals and their homes and  kill them .There are countless lifeless bodies on the streets everyday. Corpses continue to decompose in bushes after being abandoned. These  extra judicial killings is compounded by rape of our women and young girls.
People’s  houses are regularly burnt down  forcing them to flee into the bushes.The elderly and  those who  cannot escape are “roasted” in their houses or shot. This is the nightmare Ambazonians go through everyday under the annexation of Cameroun .These carnage can only  be compared to Adolf Hitlers reign of terror.
Our  young men are targeted and killed.Others  arrested and ferried  to Yaounde where they are imprisoned . Many have been tortured  to dead in detention  and buried in mass graves .
These barbarism and  humiliation is  too much to bare. Our people live in constant fear. People are afraid to even have pictures or messages in their phone about the situation.Those caught are tortured and jailed  as  in the case of Wilfred Siewe a father of 2 from Germany .Or even the case prominent  activist Fritz Takang ,Alais  “Bush hunter”
Nobody is spared .Not even the Fon of Bafut whose palace was burnt down for refusing to comply with the occultist  regime .
The  Whole of Ambazonia as  we speak is heavily militarised .The international community must come to our aid before it is too late.
I fight for Ambazonia with anger for the slaughter of my people
I fight for Ambazonia for the suppression ,oppression  ,humiliation  and colonisation for almost 60 years counting.I am determined to see a free Ambazonia,So help me God

Independence Is All We Want

Independence Is All We Want for Southern Cameroons

 

-By Anumboh Eveline Mafor

 

When Lawyers and Teachers went on the streets in October 2016 to express their dissatisfaction for arrempts to assimilate the Common Law Legal system into the Public law system and the continuous use of French Teachers in English schools in Southern Cameroons who were teaching kids in a language that they did not understand, little did the Government of La Republique du Cameroun know it was just the reawakening of the Anglophone Problem which eventually led to the declaration of war by President Paul Biya of La Republique du Cameroun on 30th November 2017.

 

This was followed by the abduction and illegal deportation of the President of Southern Cameroons Ambazonia and his Cabinet during a meeting at Nera Hotel in Nigeria on January 5, 2018. They were kept incommunicado for over a year without access to their Lawyers, Doctors, and the RedCross and Family members. This was in breach of all international conventions in which La Republique du Cameroun is signatory to. Our President and his Cabinet were later sentenced to life imprisonment by the Yaounde Military Tribunal. Dr NforNgallaNfor who is the national Chairman of the SCNC remains in Prison with them charged for secession and hostility against the state of La Republique du Cameroun.

 

For two years now, our leaders remain locked up in Yaounde against their will. We continue to call on the Government of La Republique du Cameroun to free our leaders. The quest for the restoration of the Independence of Southern Cameroons will intensify diplomatically while we also seek justice for the genocide that is being carried out on our people which has claimed well over 15 000 lives and over 350 villages burnt down by soldiers from La Republique du Cameroun.

We say no to assimilation. There is no turning back until we get to Buea to celebrate freedom and Independence and rebuild our country Southern Cameroon’s Ambazonia.

JUSTICE4NERA10: TRIBUTES  TO ALL PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE

 

 

 

 

I salute you all great and brave people of the world who are behind bars for speaking and fighting for the truth. They may think it is over but on the contrary the fight has just begun and it is unstoppable. Fight for your rights to the last breath and no to any form of human rights violation.
Southern Cameroonians today demand justice for our Leaders abducted in Nigeria. It is January 5th again two years gone and we are still waiting no answer.

https://twitter.com/HonWirbaJoseph/status/950845899965526018

Our leaders and many other activists were on this faithful day 5th January 2018 all bundled at gunpoint by armed forces of President Paul Biya of French Cameroon and abducted to French Cameroon. What a sad day to us and gross violation  of human rights. We demand their immediate release and we all know that this was a state sponsored abduction. How can people with refugee status be dragged out of a country where they sought protection from? The world indeed is becoming unbecoming and untill now they are lavishing in the Kondengui dungeon.They have since then been labelled terrorists according to the regime freedom fighters are terrorists.

 

 

Dr Nfor Ngala Nfor SCNC National Chairman was amongst,at his age he is put through this and his crime is “speaking the truth”. So too was our president Julius Sisiku Ayuk Tabe. Paul Biya the world is watching and we will not relent our efforts in any way ,we shall fight till the end.
The foundation laid by our forefathers is solid and we cannot in any way let them down nor let the future generation down. We carry the message of hope and truth and nothing but the truth will set us free.The light of hope is still burning and can be seen at the end of the tunnel.No amount of torture, threats ETC.will stop us from fighting to the finishing line.
SCNC as the mother organisation will fight and fight for all we know is that our independence is coming soon. We shall not in any way relent our efforts for freedom is coming soon. That is why we are using all platforms, SCNC UK was honoured to host SCNC global convention from the 28th-29th June 2019. A strong message was sent to the world and we are still raising our voices for the international community to intervene. Our very own Honorable Wirba Joseph was present to grace the occasion. Our candle of hope was lit as a reminder and symbol of “hope” and tribute was paid to our fallen heroes,gone but not forgotten. We are saddened that you are not here with us but at the same time celebrate your bravery. United we stand never to fall until independence, we salute you all great people.
